SCI.K-4.4.L1.2a: Science

Living things grow, take in nutrients, breathe, reproduce, eliminate waste, and die.

SCI.K-4.4.L2.1a: Science

Some traits of living things have been inherited (e.g., color of flowers and number of limbs of animals).

SCI.K-4.4.L2.1b: Science

Some characteristics result from an individual s interactions with the environment and cannot be inherited by the next generation (e.g., having scars; riding a bicycle).

SCI.K-4.4.L2.2a: Science

Plants and animals closely resemble their parents and other individuals in their species.

SCI.K-4.4.L2.2b: Science

Plants and animals can transfer specific traits to their offspring when they reproduce.

SCI.K-4.4.L3.1a.1: Science

wings, legs, or fins enable some animals to seek shelter and escape predators the mouth, including teeth, jaws, and tongue, enables some animals to eat and drink

SCI.K-4.4.L3.1a.2: Science

the mouth, including teeth, jaws, and tongue, enables some animals to eat and drink

SCI.K-4.4.L3.1a.3: Science

eyes, nose, ears, tongue, and skin of some animals enable the animals to sense their surroundings

SCI.K-4.4.L3.1a.4: Science

claws, shells, spines, feathers, fur, scales, and color of body covering enable some animals to protect themselves from predators and other environmental conditions, or enable them to obtain food

SCI.K-4.4.L3.1a.5: Science

some animals have parts that are used to produce sounds and smells to help the animal meet its needs

SCI.K-4.4.L3.1a.6: Science

the characteristics of some animals change as seasonal conditions change (e.g. , fur grows and is shed to help regulate body heat; body fat is a form of stored energy and it changes as the seasons change)

SCI.K-4.4.L3.1c.1: Science

seeds disperse by a plant s own mechanism and/ or in a variety of ways that can include wind, water, and animals

SCI.K-4.4.L3.1c.3: Science

SCI.K-4.4.L3.2a: Science

Individuals within a species may compete with each other for food, mates, space, water, and shelter in their environment.

SCI.K-4.4.L3.2b: Science

All individuals have variations, and because of these variations, individuals of a species may have an advantage in surviving and reproducing.

SCI.K-4.4.L6.1a: Science

Green plants are producers because they provide the basic food supply for them- selves and animals.

SCI.K-4.4.L6.1b: Science

All animals depend on plants. Some animals (predators) eat other animals (prey).

SCI.K-4.4.L6.1c: Science

Animals that eat plants for food may in turn become food for other animals. This sequence is called a food chain.

SCI.K-4.4.L6.1d: Science

Decomposers are living things that play a vital role in recycling nutrients.

SCI.K-4.4.L6.1e: Science

An organism s pattern of behavior is related to the nature of that organism s environment, including the kinds and numbers of other organisms present, the availability of food and other resources, and the physical characteristics of the environment.

SCI.K-4.4.L6.1f: Science

When the environment changes, some plants and animals survive and reproduce, and others die or move to new locations.

What killed the Dinosaurs? One of the great, unsolved mysteries in science is the disappearance of the dinosaurs. In this activity, you will study the environment of the Cretaceous period and look for clues as to what may have caused the extinction. You also will compare current hypotheses about extinction and decide which ones seem most plausible. pbs.org

This resource is part of the Biology Links for One Laptop Per Child course which contains units on Exploring Life; The Cell; Genetics; Mechanisms of Evolution; The Evolutionary History of Biological Diversity; Plant Form and Function; Animal Form and Function; Ecology; and Astrobiology.

From this website, you will learn about mesozoic era plants, when seed plants first came into existence and dinosaurs roamed.

The learning experiences in the Rocks, Fossils, and Dinosaurs kit supports the New York State Elementary Science Core and its focus on understanding the living environment and physical setting. Through the use of the skills of observing, classifying, collecting data, interpreting data, and manipulating data, students will investigate the properties of rocks, fossils, and dinosaurs. Students will observe and classify rocks and fossils for the basic properties of color, size, shape, and texture. Many of the rocks and fossils in this kit have their origin in New York State. Integrated hands-on math activities are also included in this kit.

More About CABOCES

Welcome to the Math, Science, and Technology Department (MST) of Cattaraugus Allegany Board of Cooperative Educational Services (CA BOCES). As a department of Instructional Support Services (ISS), we provide Math, Science, and Technology kits along with support services to meet the needs of the individual districts in our area. The BOCES Teaching and Learning Center at Allegany provides hands-on math, science, and technology kits to over twenty area school districts in Cattaraugus and Allegany counties. Our department provides forty-three different varieties of kit topics. The kits cover topics in math, life science, physical science, chemistry, and earth science. Each kit contains a teacher's manual, student activity book, materials inventory list, instructional video, and materials needed to complete each learning experience. Each kit aligns with the New York State standards and prepares students for the New York State assessments.
